Those who drink diet soft drinks are heavier than those who drink regular “sugared” soft drinks. That should be enough to get people to stop using this unnatural product.

But now there is even more shocking news: daily diet soda consumers are 43% more likely to have a vascular event (stroke, heart attack and vascular death) than those who drink none.

The authors took into account pre-existing vascular conditions such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes and high blood pressure. Light diet soft drink users, i.e. those who drank between one a month and six a week, and those who chose regular soft drinks were not more likely to suffer vascular events.

Dr. Hatch recommends not drinking soda at all but if you must drink soda, don’t drink diet soda.

A healthier alternative if you want that fizz but don’t want all of the unhealthy ingredients is to mix crushed ice, juice and club soda in a glass. Cranberry and Club makes a fantastic virgin Cape Cod .

Some studies have linked milk and dairy products to cancer and other health conditions but no one has asked, “What kind of milk?”

A researcher from Harvard University has discovered that there is a tremendous difference between raw, natural milk and the p asteurized milk from factory-farmed cows that is found in most groceries and supermarkets.

The researcher and her team found that pasteurized factory-farmed milk contains dangerously high levels of the hormone estrogen that has been linked to cancers of the testes, prostate, ovaries, uterus and breast.

Ganmaa Davaasambuu, M.D., Ph.D. and colleagues identified “milk from modern dairy farms” as being dangerous. Cows there are milked 300 days/year, including while they are pregnant and soon after giving birth. In her native Mongolia cows are still milked traditionally – not milked until six months after giving birth and not while 3 or more months pregnant.

Pasteurized factory milk was found to contain up to 33 times more estrogen than traditionally milked cows.

“The milk we drink today is quite unlike the milk our ancestors were drinking,” Dr. Davaasambuu said in the Harvard University Gazette. “When [cows] get pregnant, the estrogen levels in their blood, milk, and urine increase.. This made me wonder – since the cows are pregnant all the time, the hormone levels in their milk should be really high.” (6)

In contrast, raw milk from grass-fed cows milked at the proper times is linked to improving digestion, healing autoimmune disorders and boosting overall immunity, which can help prevent cancer.

Deaths from measles, pertussis, scarlet fever and other communicable diseases of childhood were mostly gone before vaccination. You may be surprised but two centuries of official statistics reveal that while it is true that in the 19th and early 20th centuries childhood diseases caused great numbers of deaths, around the time of the 2nd World War and every year thereafter deaths continued to drop and drop.

What lowered the death rate if it wasn’t vaccines? Improved standards of living, cleaner water, better food, better sanitation and better plumbing improved the health and immune systems of children (and adults).

Chiropractic clinical case histories have been a regular feature of our patient newsletter since its inception and have included papers published in various bio-medical and chiropractic journals.

There seems to be no end to the conditions that respond to chiropractic care – physical as well as psychological conditions.

That is because chiropractic does not “treat” a particular condition. Chiropractic care “treats” or more accurately, “corrects” a serious interference to brain, nervous system and energy function known as the subluxation.

No matter what condition you or a loved one may have you will always function better when free from subluxations. Chiropractors are uniquely trained to locate and correct subluxations.

Multiple sclerosis helped with Chiropractic Care

A female patient with multiple sclerosis presented with neck pain, numbness, ringing in the ears, fatigue, balance problems and dizziness. This was the patient’s second experience with chiropractic. An atlas subluxation was detected from leg length evaluation, postural analysis and radiographic measurements. She was adjusted using an upper cervical technique.

At the patient’s 30th visit she reported having a 90% improvement in her neck pain, 90% improvement in her numbness, 70% improvement in her fatigue and a 90% improvement in her balance since her initial visit. (3)

Constipation in an infant.

A nine-month-old infant was brought in for chiropractic care. She had developed constipation after her mother had stopped breastfeeding. Upon examination, subluxations were revealed at atlas and sacrum.

She was seen one time per week. The subluxated areas were adjusted each time.

After the first adjustment, her mother reported an increased frequency of bowel movements. By the third week her mother reported only occasional constipation. After five months of care the constipation had resolved completely.

Does Parker Colorado have EMR? Yes it does.

Light from the sun is really a form of radiation and it is healing and good for us. After all, what can be more natural and healthy than sunlight?

But there are unhealthy forms of radiation that our parents and grandparents didn’t live with. We’re talking about EMR (electromagnetic radiation).

EMR comes from electronic devices and it has been shown to cause serious stress on our bodies that could lead to illness.

Dr. Ryan Hatch at Hatch Chiropractic has some great tips to share to reduce EMR exposure (you may feel a difference right away):

Do not use battery clocks near the bed (especially near your head)

Use beds without metal – those springs absorb energy

Get rid of cordless phones over 900 MHz – avoid Bluetooth phones

Open the windows 10 minutes daily to balance positive and negative ions in the house

Wear natural fibers

Unplug computers, video games and other electronics when not in use

Don’t use fluorescent lights or compact energy efficient lights (they are linked to neurological damage and contain mercury). The newer LED bulbs have no mercury, use lots less energy and last a long, long time.
